She Took Back Her Children and Got a Husband

"Auntie."

Duoduo called out again, her voice soft and delightful, still crying.

Swoosh!

Jiang Xiaorou's tears fell directly as she entered the elevator, holding Duoduo's small face.

"Yes! Auntie heard you."

"Duoduo, be a good girl and go home with Daddy. If you miss auntie, have your brother call me. We can send messages or video call. Duoduo must be a good girl at home, okay?"

Jiang Xiaorou was heartbroken!

If possible, she really wanted to snatch the child away immediately, never letting them return to the Shen Family, that cold and inhospitable home, utterly unsuitable for a child to grow up in.

But she really couldn't now.

Jiang Xiaorou stepped out of the elevator, watching Duoduo cry on Shen Yancheng's shoulder, watching Xuanxuan wave goodbye, observing Shen Yancheng's cold, stern face.

She stood by the elevator doors alone for a very long time.

In the car!

Duoduo still clutched tightly the little stuffed toy Jiang Xiaorou had given her, treasuring it in her embrace.

"Duoduo, do you really like this?" Shen Yancheng asked.

If his daughter liked it, he could buy the toy factory outright and produce all the toys she liked.

Duoduo had just called 'auntie,' and he was thrilled that she spoke.

But he couldn't understand what method that woman, merely a waitress, used to get Duoduo to speak.

"Duoduo, if you like it, Daddy will buy you a lot more, enough to fill the whole room, okay?" Shen Yancheng's voice was very soft, speaking tenderly to Duoduo.

Duoduo shook her head; she was still unhappy.

She didn't care for many toys; she only cared about this one because it was a gift from Auntie, because Auntie was kind to her, cooked noodles for her, fed her.

These were things Jiang Yufei couldn't provide. Duoduo missed Mommy; the more she thought about it, the tighter she held the toy.

"Did you have dinner at Auntie's house just now? Was her cooking delicious?" Shen Yancheng asked again.

Shen Yancheng knew his precious daughter too well. She wouldn't interact with strangers, wouldn't talk or smile, was picky about who fed her, and was generally incommunicative when in a bad mood.

But all these changed in front of that waitress.

Duoduo's first laugh was because of her, her first words, her first willingness to interact with a stranger – all because of that woman. What abilities did she have? How did she manage it?

Duoduo nodded!

She affirmed Jiang Xiaorou's cooking skills— not because it was tasty but because it was hilariously bad. Xiaorou would make faces to please Duoduo, told jokes, fed her, was patient, and always smiling.

"Alright, Daddy understands, but next time Duoduo can't run away from home again, okay? Daddy was very worried about you, do you know?" Shen Yancheng cuddled his daughter in his arms.

Who knew how deeply Shen Yancheng cared for his precious daughter? His love for Duoduo exceeded that for Xuanxuan, not that he didn't love Xuanxuan, but Duoduo needed more love.

Duoduo, holding the stuffed toy, leaned on Daddy's chest, and fell asleep within minutes.

"Xuanxuan, what do you think about the auntie just now?" Shen Yancheng asked.

He was pondering an issue, needing to make a decision.

"Auntie is quite nice. She is good to both me and Duoduo, always smiling, a nice person," Xuanxuan spoke highly of Jiang Xiaorou.

Of course, he dared not mention Auntie's cooking, a spectacularly disastrous cuisine.

"It seems, both you and Duoduo really like her," Shen Yancheng said, his words tinged with regret.

These caring acts should have been provided by a mother. Had Jiang Yufei done enough, Duoduo and Xuanxuan wouldn't need to find motherly affection from another auntie.

Shen Yancheng's face was dark and ugly, like the prelude to an impending storm.

Back at home!

Duoduo woke up and started to make a fuss.

She wouldn't take a bath, wouldn't sleep, kept crying, and was very restless, and no one could soothe her.

Usually, at this time, it should be Jiang Yufei comforting Duoduo to sleep, and when Jiang Yufei wasn't home, it would be Shen Yancheng who personally took over, exhausting all the tricks until Duoduo finally fell asleep.

But tonight, he was at his wit's end, Duoduo was incredibly stubborn.

Shen Yancheng was extremely troubled, thinking that he, after all, was the president of a publicly-listed company, a figure above tens of thousands, usually others watch for his mood, when had he ever needed to appease others?

Yet Duoduo, the hero for half a lifetime, fell into the hands of his precious daughter, when Duoduo made a fuss, Shen Yancheng was helpless, so frustrated he almost went bald.

Having no other choice, Shen Yancheng drove out.

Forty minutes later!

Ding-dong! Ding-dong! The doorbell rang.

"Who is it, not letting people rest in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Xiaorou had just applied a face mask and was just about to lie down and rest when someone rang the doorbell again. She had been back in the country for a while and had never been this disturbed before, hoping that whoever was knocking had legitimate business, or else Jiang Xiaorou was about to lose her temper.

"Shen Yancheng?"

Why is it him?

Jiang Xiaorou had no idea what was happening, but seeing Shen Yancheng's anxious and heated appearance, it must be something important!

"Come with me."

He was commanding her.

Jiang Xiaorou was amused.

"Why should I go with you? Besides, who are you to dictate me? You really think too highly of yourself."

Jiang Xiaorou was no ordinary woman, she had money and status, she didn't need to grovel and curry favor in front of a good-looking shell, it was totally unnecessary.

Shen Yancheng stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Xiaorou by the waist with one hand, and threw her over his shoulder. Carrying her off decisively, without fuss.

"Hey! Put me down, or I will call the police. Put me down."

Jiang Xiaorou yelled herself hoarse to no avail, no matter how powerful or wealthy she was, she couldn't overpower Shen Yancheng physically, being carried on his shoulder felt dangerous, as if she could be disposed of at any moment.

But his shoulders were also very broad, strangely giving a sense of security.

Jiang Xiaorou stopped struggling, since her slippers had already flown off anyway, and struggling seemed useless, she did not believe Shen Yancheng could really do anything to her.

Jiang Xiaorou was thrown into the car.

"Where are you taking me?" Jiang Xiaorou asked.

Suddenly, Shen Yancheng's handsome face came close, very close, and Jiang Xiaorou's heart raced, it hadn't beaten like this in a long while, as if it had suddenly come back to life.

Her eyes fixed on Shen Yancheng, her heartbeat accelerating, at the moment it reached her throat, Shen Yancheng sat back, he was just buckling her seatbelt, yet she was this nervous.

He didn't speak, but drove off with Jiang Xiaorou.

When the car stopped, Jiang Xiaorou then realized, she had been brought to his house by Shen Yancheng, so, what was he planning to do?

"You brought me to your house? What do you mean?"

No matter how clever Jiang Xiaorou was, she couldn't figure it out. She just felt that Shen Yancheng had improper thoughts towards her, anyway, all men are the same.

The car door was opened, and Jiang Xiaorou was dragged out.

"Wait, I can walk on my own."

Jiang Xiaorou did not want to be carried again, after all, she was a notable person, how bad would it look if word got out? She wasn't some damsel in distress.
